Here I stand without an answer Reaching out to feel your hand And I try to find the courage that can keep me hangin' on You help me be a better me So many left without a goodbye A thousand miles in between I could not have made the change Without your push in the right direction Lift me up, help me escape And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside And All the times I've needed someone to believe in me To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love I hope you hang around awhile Here you stand with your defenses Build them up and build them strong It's alright to let them soften as I hold you close at night No need to hide a thing from me And all the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside And all the times I've needed someone to believe in me To think about the odds that you'd be sharing in this love I hope you hang around awhile Hang around so you can see me take my second chances Hang around so you can help me wish on one more star Hang around so we can take this love and make it shine I hope you'll hang around a while
